Answer:

<u>There are 17 terms in the sequence</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequence </u>

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern by which each term is calculated by adding or subtracting a constant number called common difference to the previous term. If n is the number of the term, then:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)r

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, and r is the common difference.

In the problem at hand, we are given the first term a1=13, the last term an=-23, and the common difference r=-2 1/4. Let's solve the equation for n:

\displaystyle n=1+\frac{a_n-a_1}{r}

We need to express r as an improper or proper fraction:

\displaystyle r=-2\frac{1}{4}=-2-\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{9}{4}

Substituting:

\displaystyle n=1+\frac{-23-13}{-\frac{9}{4}}

\displaystyle n=1+\frac{-36}{-\frac{9}{4}}

\displaystyle n=1+36*\frac{4}{9}=17

n=17

There are 17 terms in the sequence

3/6 + 1/2 what is the answer.​
Simora [160]

Answer:

reduce 3/6 to lowest terms which would be, 1/2 because 3 goes into 3 once and 3 goes into 6 twice.  

Making your equation simplified to

1/2 + 1/2

which is equal to 1

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

Solve the equation for the variable numerically using a
tangare [24]

Answer:

x= 12

Step-by-step explanation

3x+8=44

subtract 8 from both sides:  3x+8= 44

                                                     -8    -8

3x=36

then divide by 3 on both sides

3x=36

3    3

which leaves : x=12

my explaining is horrible but i hope this helps

There are two machines available for cutting corks intended for use in wine bottles. The first produces corks with diameters tha
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.6826 = 68.26% probability that the first machine produces an acceptable cork.

0.933 = 93.3% probability that the second machine produces an acceptable cork.

The second machine is more likely to produce an acceptable cork.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

What is the probability that the first machine produces an acceptable cork?

The first produces corks with diameters that are normally distributed with mean 3 cm and standard deviation 0.10 cm, which means that \mu = 3, \sigma = 0.1

Acceptable between 2.9 and 3.1, which means that this probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 3.1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.9.

X = 3.1

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3.1 - 3}{0.1}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 2.9

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{2.9 - 3}{0.1}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826

0.6826 = 68.26% probability that the first machine produces an acceptable cork.

What is the probability that the second machine produces an acceptable cork? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

For the second machine, we have that \mu = 3.04, \sigma = 0.04. Same probability we have to find out. So

X = 3.1

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3.1 - 3.04}{0.04}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

X = 2.9

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{2.9 - 3.04}{0.04}

Z = -3.5

Z = -3.5 has a pvalue of 0.0002

0.9332 - 0.0002 = 0.933

0.933 = 93.3% probability that the second machine produces an acceptable cork.

Which machine is more likely to produce an acceptable cork?

Second one has a higer probability, so it is more likely to produce an acceptable cork.

How does the graph change frorm point G to point K?
rewona [7]

Answer:

The graph increases then decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at point G it is increasing until it gets to the x value of 0. From there on it is decreasing to K.
